happy days

the long daily bus journeys to and fro school and home would usually provide a good time for me to doing some reading or simply, reflect on the week's activities. i've been pondering over certain issues that have been rather worrying and saddening to me. however thru them i've come realised the value of life. for instance, how life is only lived once and theres no turning back when something has passed. thus, its really a waste to be all caught up being sad and depressed over matters that instead only time can resolve rather than focusing on brighter thoughts. i guess being happy would very much first require us to learn to accept different people, for no one can be perfectly how we want them to be, looking on the bright side of life and taking negative situations as learning experiences to constructive use in the future. afterall, the choice lies with us if we want everyday to be HAPPY day isnt it? :)
